Study Abroad

“To read, write and discuss the Palace of Versailles in a classroom and then to actually go there and live the full experience is what I feel getting a college degree is all about.”

Independent Study Abroad

Seton Hill’s Study Abroad Office will assist students who wish to make plans for studying abroad independently or through programs offered by other universities or outside services. (Students must select any of the countries participating in the United States Program on International Education.) Qualified students may take a summer, a semester, J-Term, M-Term, or a year of study at a foreign university. Seton Hill maintains special relationships with institutions in Japan, Korea, China, Israel, Italy, Spain, and Puerto Rico, and financial aid is usually available for study abroad.
